Three great things today: First of all, finally made a round trip email->reply->reply to another HAM in Arizona over Winlink. Super cool to send a message this way.

Second, we had a local SIMPLEX test on 2M. Good to see how far 2M will go.

Third, it was FT8 mania today. It was a cold and rainy day, good day to work around the office. I found out earlier today that there is a World Wide Award 2025 contest going on, and I started making contacts with several stations, This led to trying to find more stations for the WWA on other bands. I watched the bands throughout the day switching between the 10M/12M/15M/17M/20M/30M/40M bands.

Here is the QSO map and results:
